The Finance Transformation program was a power-packed crash course in driving change. It offered a well-rounded view on crafting strategies, modernizing systems, refining processes, evaluating tech, engaging stakeholders, and inspiring teams to embrace transformation. Regardless of experience level, this program emphasized the importance of every individual's role in reshaping finance. It's like fitting together pieces of a puzzle to create a transformative whole. It makes complex change achievable by equipping participants with practical tools to navigate transformation.

But this program wasn't just theoretical; it's a guide to unlocking change along with practical exercises. It provides insights into effective strategies, sustainable systems, and the human side of transformation – rallying teams and fostering collaboration. The case study at the end of the course was eye opening!

In essence, the Finance Transformation program can be a roadmap in the continuing evolving finance world. Having the opportunity to be part of this program, I can confirm that it empowers professionals to lead their organizations toward meaningful progress. If you're ready to shape the future of finance, this program is your invaluable collaborator.

This week marked the end of an insightful seven-session course with GrowCFO on Finance Transformation.

We covered a wide range of topics from managing stakeholders to creating a project plan and even analysing available software solutions (who knew there were so many!). Oliver Deacon is an engaging facilitator who managed to keep the energy and interest high throughout despite it being virtual. He delivered a combination of theory based models with practical examples and the chance to deep-drive into the week's specific topic via smaller break out rooms. I'm extremely impressed with the breath of subject matter covered and how relevant and applicable it was made to feel within an NHS context even though it wasn't aimed at a public sector audience.

As a CIMA finalist, this Transformation Boot Camp brought my Strategic level studies to life; especially in our final session where we worked through a Case Study and tied all the different elements together. I walked away feeling inspired and excited about the opportunities we have for progress in this area! Finally, the care taken with the workbooks and presentation materials is testament to the passion and pride taken by Oli and the GrowCFO team and I very much look forward to working with them again in the future.

The Finance Transformation program was great for getting into the transformation mindset before the company goes through a costly change.  The course was honest on the investment required in time, money, and the huge role that technology plays.  Companies commonly invest vast sums on a new way of working but do not invest in the journey it will take employees and transition managers to get from point A to B. The Finance Transformation program provided the framework that I needed to feel confident as a champion of change within my organization.
